Shattering the talent show script, sweeping the world film scene

After signing an actor contract with Nie Mingzhu, Jiangxi Heng immediately released recruitment information.

He needs a director who listens to him, a coordinator in charge of personnel scheduling, and essential crew members such as lighting technicians, cinematographers, makeup artists, stylists, and prop masters.

Secondly, there's the selection of actors. This is simple: if a recruitment notice is posted at the Beijing Film and Television Base, a large number of extras will immediately submit their resumes.

Given Jiangxi Heng's current qualifications, no actor with any reputation in the industry would look up to him, but most extras who are still struggling to make ends meet wouldn't consider him that much.

Fang Weiyang organized today's resumes and delivered them to Jiangxi Heng's desk.

"Brother Heng, we have a total of 112 resumes for extras and 10 resumes for other positions today."

Jiangxi Heng pulled out a resume for a job. There were applicants for makeup artist positions and prop master positions, but directors were the hardest to find.

"Check the information of these two people," Jiangxi Heng said to 4399, pointing out the two names.

[Jia Duobao, makeup assistant on film set, three years of experience, always working on top-tier film sets, seeking a monthly salary of 8 or more]

[Monkey, production coordinator, has overseen five B-level TV series, seeking a monthly salary of at least 1.5 RMB.]

Jiangxi Heng first looked at the information of the first person.

If we categorize the makeup artists on a film set, we can divide them into several types: assistants, on-set supervisors, makeup artists & hairstylists, lead actor makeup artists & hairstylists, makeup/hairstyling team leaders, and styling directors.

Makeup assistant is the lowest-ranking position among them.

After working for three years, I'm still just a makeup assistant. Either I lack the ability or I'm being suppressed. But this person has been able to stay in A-list film crews, so it seems more like they're being suppressed.

In Beijing, a city with a high cost of living, an 8 yuan salary is not considered a lot.

Jiangxi Hengrang 4399 retrieved Jia Duobao's "works".

4399 released images: [Investigation shows that Jia Duobao has done makeup for Zhong Chuchu, Bai Zhenli, Zhao Kecheng, and others, but their names were replaced by Jin Yan, the mentor who brought her into the industry (3 photos)]

"Replace?" Jiangxi Heng chuckled. This was clearly an attempt to suppress the younger generation and prevent her from rising to prominence. So, was she planning to find someone else?

Jiangxi Heng approved the resume and arranged for 4399 to meet with Jia Duobao.

Then I went to look at the second resume.

Coordination is a very important part of the production profession, and its main task is to schedule the production crew.

How long does it take to film a movie? What scenes will be filmed on the first day? What scenes will be filmed on the second day? The daily scenes must be distributed to the actors in advance.

Different actors have different start times, which requires scheduling based on individual circumstances. The more senior and higher the status of an artist, the more they want their filming time compressed into the shortest possible consecutive period, which often conflicts with the schedules of artists with slightly lower status.

But there's nothing we can do about it; this job really tests a person's ability to negotiate and build relationships.

Currently, there is no such problem with "Life and Death Cycle"; we only need to pay attention to Nie Mingzhu's joining time.

Another approach is to schedule filming according to location, thereby reducing expenses.

To be good at overall coordination, one must have a sharp mind and be able to get all departments to cooperate and make things clear.

As the saying goes, those in overall planning are the ones who do the most talking and get the most criticism.

Another job of coordinating is to receive investors and arrange wrap parties and other banquets. After working in this field for a few more years, one can become an executive producer.

Jiangxi Heng found Meng Qi's contact information and made a call using the company's landline.

"Hello, is this Mr. Monkey? This is the crew of 'Loop'."

The reason I don't mention Universe Entertainment is that it's a bankrupt company that changed its name and is in debt; a brand new production team is more trustworthy.

On the other side, Monchi, dressed in a suit, walked out of a production company and stuffed the unused resume back into his briefcase.

He sighed softly and stood in front of the bus, his face full of worry, waiting for the bus.

Not long ago, the second female lead in his drama crew added scenes without permission, which caused a big fight with the first female lead. He was the unlucky guy who happened to witness the second female lead entering the investor's room. After discovering this, the second female lead persuaded the tyrannical investor to fire him ahead of schedule.

Why does the second female lead have a problem with him? It's because he's the one who brought the first female lead there!

Without saying a word, he was thrown into the female lead's camp. He lost his job, but got paid. He was also given a subtle warning by the second female lead... In a B-grade film crew, instead of focusing on making a good film, he was thinking about how to add scenes for himself. No wonder the film flopped.

Monchi decided to find a company instead of working independently.

While working independently offers freedom, the salary is unstable, and you might offend someone unintentionally without even a chance to explain yourself.

However, he was inexperienced and had only managed B-level productions before, none of which became hits. Big companies didn't want him, and he didn't want small companies either.

He just left a small company, and they offered him a salary of 8.

Traditional jobs in the Chinese entertainment industry typically pay around 1.2 yuan per month. He's been doing this for so many years, what's wrong with asking for 1.5 yuan?

Even a dog wouldn't do 8k.

After boarding the bus, swiping his card and paying with coins, Monchi was ready to go for his next job interview.

Just then, his phone rang.

"Feed? Who is this?" The other person's words made Monchi look up abruptly: "The Cycle of Life and Death? I'm coming right now."

The small companies that interviewed with Monchi this morning said they would let him be the coordinator, but as the conversation went on, it turned into "he needs to learn on the film set first." It seems that they don't trust him, or they don't want him to get involved in the film set's affairs so quickly, so as not to upset some of the veteran employees.

Only this unknown production team immediately agreed to his conditions. The script was already prepared, and as long as he could complete the initial personnel scheduling, he would be in charge of the rest of the production. If he did well, he would be promoted to executive producer.

Monkey took the latter statement as mere empty promises.

But making promises is better than making no promises at all.

He didn't even eat before going straight to Universe Entertainment, where he met the excessively young producer.

"Mr. Jiang?" Huh? Why does he look so familiar? Where have I seen him before?

Jiangxi Heng gestured for him to sit down and got straight to the point: "I am Jiangxi Heng, the boss of Universal Entertainment and the producer and investor of 'Life and Death Loop'."

As soon as the name was mentioned, Monkey remembered it.

Wasteful child star Jiangxi Heng!

Back when he was just a laborer on a film set, he saw a young version of Jiangxi Heng on the set of that popular drama. The boy was so small and handsome that Meng Qi really thought he would grow up to be a great handsome guy.

He's handsome, but he's also a flop.

At the same time, he also remembered the somewhat familiar company name at the entrance.

Isn't this the origin of the "Changgui Case" that has been making headlines online these past few days?

"Mr. Jiang," Meng Qi stammered, his suspicions about this unknown film crew growing stronger.

What Jiangxi Heng said next made him want to stand up and leave.

"I will be playing the male lead in this web series."

His buttocks were off the chair.

And then another sentence came in.

"By the way, Nie Mingzhu will be making a cameo appearance in this web series."
